A few rare facts Buddhism

 A few rare facts

*"Bhikkhave, Appamadena Sampadetha, Dullabho Buddhuppado Locasming, Dullabho Manushatta Patilabho, Dullabha Khansampatti, Dullabha Pabbajja, Dullabhang Saddhammasavanang"*

This is an exhortation that the Buddha gives every day. Its meaning is: *Brothers, you are full of wonder. Enlightenment is rare in the world. Being human is rare. Instant wealth is rare. Pravrajya is rare. True hearing is rare.*

Lovtura Buddhahood is the most difficult of all worldly tasks. Buddhahood can be attained only by those who are able to fill a hundred thousand Sarasadkhya kalpas with a very small number of sons and sacrifices of wealth, limbs and life. Since such people are not common in the world, perhaps a Buddha will not appear in the world for millions of kalpas. So enlightenment is rare.

Hells are places where there is no place to do merit. A creature born in hell does not have the wisdom of merit. Therefore, the creature who went to hell commits sins there and is born in hell again and again. It takes a very long time for an animal that once went to hell to become a human again. The rarity of being a human being has been described by the Tathagata in a parable as follows.

*"Gentlemen, a man throws a wooden stick with one hole into the sea. The wind that is in the sea is carried to the west by the wind from the east. It is carried to the east by the wind coming from the west. It is carried to the south by the wind coming from the north. It is carried to the north by the wind coming from the south. A sea urchin also raises its head from the sea water to the sky once in a hundred years. Monks, who is it, the head of that earworm enters that hole?*

 Thus the Blessed One asked the monks. At that time, the monks thought, "Lord, blessed ones, there is a possibility that it will happen after a long time." At that time, the Blessed One said, "Brother, the head of the hornet will soon enter the hole. He said, "It is even rarer for the youngest who has sinned and gone to hell to come to the human world." The rarity of being human should be given by that sermon.

There are eight periods in which it is difficult for the beings to do merits and they do not get the opportunity to do merits. Wandering beings often find themselves caught in difficult situations for merit. "Khanasampatthiya" is said to be one of the eight difficult times to do merit. It rarely comes. Eight nodes are displayed.

Only one who has the three rare qualities of enlightenment, humanity, and equanimity can receive ordination in Buddhism. Very few people have the heart to become a priest who has obtained all three. Therefore, monasticism is a rare thing.

The truth preached by the Tathagata is heard only at the time of enlightenment. Not everyone who has attained the rare enlightenment and humanity can hear the Dhamma. In today's world, there are many people who do not listen to Dhamma. There are many who do not ask. There are very few people who listen to Dhamma with love. Therefore, he said, hearing the truth is rare.
